Love this site, it's amazing, full of skills and great advice.

The ball is fed to the player on the first post who touches their base with the ball then throws the ball to the next base.

This player touches the ball into the base and runs with the ball back to the feeder.

Fielding Rotation - Catch and Follow:

One player is fielding deep.

The ball is fed to them to catch and then throw to post.

They player who caught the ball follows the ball to the post and the player on the post runs the ball into the feeder.

Players rotate.

Throwing & Catching

Throwing on the move:

See how many consecutive catches the Post fielder can take before he/she has to move or the ball bounces. If this happens put score back to 0.

The fielder should be able to touch the post with the ball each time without moving their feet.

This can be done against another group, i.e. first to 15 catches without Fielder moving away from the post.

Throwing & Catching

Fielding and throw to post:

Ball injected to backstop who catches the ball and throws it to first base and follows the ball to first base. The back stop player is then replaced by the next player queuing in the line.

Player at first base collects ball and puts it into the machine before joining the backstop line of players.

Stop the ball - Cover Fielding:

Two cones are placed left and right in front of the feeder.

Ball is fed into play.

The closest player creates a wall to stop the ball and the other play backs up the first player.

The ball is then thrown to the post and the ball thrower follows the ball to the post.
